There was a tribute to Bobbie Goodell by John Bayer, John Beale, and Eloise Clark. She is moving to Long Island, New York in the next few weeks. Bobbie was instrumental in the growth of Sacred Harp singing in the Cincinnati area, and in Ohio in general as well. John Bayer presented her with a framed copy of his new composition âGoodellâ. Eloise read the following: We resolve that we will keep Bobbie in our hearts and in our minds for the new year and we resolve to send her east with the best wishes for her future. John Bayer then led âGoodell C.M.â. Leaders: Barbara Bowers 49b; Eric Conrad 71; Bobbie Goodell 174; Linda Coppock 300; Tineke Stevens 178; Bob Swope 182.
